Set in a reality just outside of our own, where individuals go in and out of mysterious portals every day, one starts to question their existence when one of their own doesn't return. Because nothing changes in the Void... or does it?
This 75 minute piece tackles and critiques societal norms, perceptions of reality, and the scariest thing of all: Mathematical theorem.
Directed by Kristen Keim(Blockbuster Guy), the ensemble cast includes Emily Anne Davis (Women on Fire), Sophie Hoyt, Robert Maisonett(Latin Lives), Joe Marx, and Emma Ruth Mathews (Brighter than the Sun). Davis also serves as fight and movement director for the piece.
"This is a piece that is meant to surprise, provoke, and engage the audience in conversation," says playwright Galvez. "The show can be hard to describe, but to many, we've described it as Seinfeld, but with math. Or for theater folk, it's Waiting for Godot, but with math. And for others, it's The Phantom Tollbooth, but with just math. It somewhat defies description. But with math."
